2015 BMW X1 “The steering, the brakes, the ride, the handling, and all the secondary controls and instruments just feel perfect. So if you'd like to have a hot-hatch based on the last 3-series, but with BMW's latest generation of engine and transmission, the X1 xDrive28i makes one hell of a package. ” — Automobile See More Reviews

2015 BMW X6 M “The 2013 BMW X6 M has prodigious power, amazing handling, four seats and not so much cargo space. As an SUV, it doesn't make any sense, but it's a whole lot of fun.” — Edmunds.com See More Reviews

2015 Cadillac SRX “Inside, the look is uniquely American, and the hand-cut-and-sewn coverings on the instrument panel and ambient lighting make for a rich environment.” — The Car Connection See More Reviews

2015 INFINITI QX50 “step inside and try not to be impressed by the stunning interior, with colors, shapes, materials and surfaces that make this among the most luxurious in the segment.” — Kelley Blue Book See More Reviews

2015 Land Rover LR4 “Underway, it's very comfortable and very quiet, considering that the LR4 is quite a big box that catches lots of air and rides on enormous tires. ” — New Car Test Drive See More Reviews

2015 Lexus RX 450h “The hybrid model is particularly well sorted out, and both RXs are easier to use as mind-numbing, commute-erasing devices than they were before. Even as enthusiasts, we have to admit there are plenty of days when such a device (especially for this Los Angeles-based editor) would come in handy.” — Car and Driver See More Reviews

2015 Lincoln MKT “Other than the goofy proportions and polarizing snout, perhaps the most immediately noteworthy thing about the MKT is how pleasant it is inside its cabin. The interior is serenely quiet, even at triple-digit speeds, thanks to heaps of sound deadening; laminated, thicker windows; and aerodynamic tuning that included optimizing the shape of the side mirrors.” — Car and Driver See More Reviews

2015 Mercedes-Benz GL350 BlueTEC “The GL-Class is stuffed with all bits of digital magic, and many of the systems are standard equipment, including the air-ride suspension that smoothes out all but the most rugged travel. ” — New Car Test Drive See More Reviews

2015 Mercedes-Benz GL63 AMG “Because of limited third-row kneeroom and a second-row center-seat position equipped with a fold-down armrest/cup holder, the GL is no seven-passenger limo, but it can nicely accommodate four adults, three kids, and 16 cubic feet of luggage.” — Car and Driver See More Reviews

2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK350 “The sheetmetal is creased and proper with a good deal of confidence, and the proportions are smart. It's supremely comfortable, with lots of ways to adjust the seats. ” — AutoWeek See More Reviews

Autos.com editors have compiled the most extensive rating database on the internet, drawing upon $20 million of automotive research from CarsDirect and Autodata, and summarizing expert opinion from an extensive group of the leading third party sources. Here is a brief overview of how we do it:

Professional Reviews Ranking: Autos.com editors analyze car reviews from a range of magazines and websites, distill each down to a quantifiable ranking and then average those rankings to arrive at the Professional Review Rank.

Other Rankings: Autos.com also ranks vehicles based on criteria such as fuel efficiency, cargo capacity, and comfort and convenience features. You can see some of the data that we have used to rate each vehicle in any given category by expanding the category header on the vehicle detail page. For example, click on the arrow next to "Passenger Space" on the Honda Civic detail page to see the actual measurements for that vehicle's interior. These measurements were stacked up against the interior measurements of all the other vehicles in the compact car segment in order to calculate the Honda Civic's rating in the Passenger Space category. That rating is then used to determine the Honda Civic's overall ranking in the compact car category.
